When it comes to a cracked iPhone screen, the severity of the damage can vary wildly, from light scratches to full-on shattering or even chunks of glass missing. No matter the situation, the first step we always recommend is to inspect the damage properly. Place your iPhone on a flat surface under bright light and gently test the touch responsiveness. This will help determine whether the issue is just cosmetic or if it's affecting your phone's performance.
So, how long does iPhone screen repair actually take?
At Imfixed, we know your time is precious. That’s why most iPhone screen repairs are completed the same day, often within just 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the model and the extent of the damage. Whether you walk into our store or book your repair online, we aim to make the process fast, professional, and stress-free.
We’ve spoken to countless customers who tried to repair their phones themselves or waited weeks for an Apple Store appointment. One customer told us they were quoted over £150 and a week-long wait just to fix a cracked screen at Apple. Others tried third-party kits, only to find out their iPhone’s True Tone feature or touch responsiveness stopped working. That’s why we always say don’t risk it.
Why Choose Us?
Instead of gambling with DIY repairs or unreliable third parties, come to the experts at Imfixed. Our professional team has repaired thousands of devices across iPhones, iPads, tablets, smartwatches and more and we stand by every job with a 12-month warranty. Plus, with our Price Match Promise, you’ll always get great value.
A broken iPhone screen isn’t just an inconvenience. It can affect:
-
Touch sensitivity, leading to unresponsive controls
-
Screen visibility, especially when watching content or reading text
-
Your phone’s waterproofing, as cracks allow water and dust inside
-
Your safety, with the risk of sharp glass causing cuts
-
Resale value, with a damaged device worth significantly less
- Other functions, like the proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, or front camera
Over time, what starts as a minor crack can snowball into bigger issues including internal hardware failure or even data loss. That’s why it’s best to address screen damage as soon as possible.
Is it worth trying to fix the screen myself?

While DIY screen repair kits are available, they’re rarely as simple as advertised. Even with instructions, the process requires precision and experience. One wrong move could cause further damage or even break your device entirely. And once opened, your iPhone could lose its water resistance and any remaining warranty.
